Difference between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi
Both Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are used for providing wireless communication through radio signals. The most distinction between Bluetooth and Wifi is that, Bluetooth is actually accustomed connect short-range devices for sharing information whereas Wifi is used for providing high-speed web access or internet. Wifi provides high information measure because the speed of web is a vital issue. Let’s see the difference between Bluetooth and Wi-Fi:
| S.NO | Bluetooth | Wifi |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Bluetooth has no full form. | While wifi stands for Wireless Fidelity. |
| 2. | It requires bluetooth adapter on all devices for connectivity. | Whereas it requires wireless adapteron all devices and wireless router for connectivity. |
| 3. | Bluetooth consumes low power. | While it consumes high power. |
| 4. | The security of bluetooth is less in comparison of wifi. | While it provides better security than bluetooth. |
| 5. | Bluetooth is less flexible means in this limited users are supported. | Whereas wifi supports large amount of users. |
| 6. | The radio signal range of bluetooth is ten meters. | Whereas in wifi this range is hundred meters. |
| 7. | Bluetooth require low bandwidth. | While it requires high bandwidth. |
| 8. | Bluetooth frequency range 2.400 GHz to 2.483 GHz | WiFi frequency range 2.4GHz to 5 GHz |
| 9. | Bluetooth demands a bluetooth setting or adapter on all device to set up connectivity. | WiFi demands a wireless router to set up the connectivity and adapter on the device. |
| 10. | In Bluetooth modulation technique is GFSK(Gaussian frequency shift keying). | In WiFi modulation technique is OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) and QAM(Quadrature Amplitude Modulation). |
| 11. | Bit-rate in bluetooth is 2.1 Mbps. | Bit-rate in WiFi is 600 Mbps. |
